Speech Day to Be May 12th
"What are you doing, Christian
young men and women, for the
boys and girls of this country who
are juvenile delinquents?"
This was the challenge presented
by Dr. Devine, as he spoke in the
Chapel, Friday.
Citing Marijuana as public en-emy
number one, giving example
after example of boys and girls
who use the weed, telling of the in-crease
in crime among teen-ages,
he drew a picture of the war at
home, which is being lost.
The Church has the only power
that can draw these children away
from the devil and keep them from
crime. The Church can take the
children off the streets, keep them
from marijuana and delinquency,
court and reform school. Churches
can, by daily vacation Bible schools
and by child evangelism classes,
Sunday School classes, and week-day
church school, give the young
people the Gospel which is the most
important factor in making them
upright citizens.
"If you can get youngsters under
the Word of God, if for only a
week, it means a lot."
"It is a pathetic thing," said Dr.
Devine, "to find men who aren't
Christians working with zeal and
enthusiasm to help the boys and
girls —and then to find the Church
people who have the only real rem-edy—
Jesus Christ, who will change
the heart — find them — asleep in
the pews."
"We know what we can do. Are
we doing it — or is the problem
one of Christian delinquency rather
than juvenile?"
Spire Progresses
Dana Larson reports that 16 cuts
are back from the printer and the
first 18 pages of the Spire have
been sent to the printer.
Demonstration
A liquid air demonstration was
given by Elliot James, a former
high school teacher, under the aus-pices
of the University of Minne-sota,
General Extension Division,
at the convocation May 4.
Mr. James has given his demon-stration
in forty-six states and five
Canadian provinces. His demon-stration
consisted of experiments
with liquid air. It made a most in-teresting
and educational enter-tainment.
War Will Be
Theme of Sem
Banquet
Plans are underway for this year's
Seminary banquet to be held Tues-day,
May 10, at the Hotel Commo-dore
in St. Paul at 6:30 p.m. A
war theme will predominate.
The program is being arranged
by Don Johnson, Wesley Lindblom
and Stanley Paulson. Decorations
are in charge of Dick Slater, assist-ed
by Miriam Johanson and Marie
Green. The committee of arrange-ments
is Gunnar Hoglund and Dale
Bjork.
Zoo Class Di-sects
Dog-fish
The stndents in zoology class
have been dissecting Dog Fish
sharks.
Upon examining the external
parts they found the gills and fins
(but they couldn't find the Danes).
The students were of the opinion
that the rough external surface re-sembled
the epidermis of the hu-man
body during a severe case of
seven year itch.
Later an autopsy was performed
after the sharks had breathed their
last as a result of years and years
in formaldehyde.

JUNIOR - SENIOR BANQUET
MAY 21
The colloge chapel will pro-vide
the setting for the annual
formal Junior-Senior Banquet to
be held on May 21.
"It is to be strictly a date occa-sion,"
announced Peggy Apple-quist,
who heads the committee
in charge of the date bureau. So
get busy fellows and don't wait
until the last minute to ask that
girl whom you have wanted to
step out with all year.
The girl who sits next to you
in the Swedish or German class,
the one you have talked with so
much in the coffee shop, or the
one who studies that chemistry
with you are all prospects.
For the benefit of those who
just cannot make up their minds
as to whom to take, Johnny
Danielson and Peggy Applequist
who have charge of the date
bureau, will fix you up in grand
style.
We urge Freshmen and Soph-omores
who have not paid their
class dues to do so immediately
as the banquet tickets are in-cluded
in the class dues. Also,
the attendance of any non-col-lege
students must be told to
the committee as soon as poss-ible
so that reservations can be
arranged.
Today the Bethel Male Chorus is
representing Bethel at Lake View
Church in Chicago. They have sung
for six services and will sing for
five more before returning to Be-thel,
May 10.
This year the trip is limited to
Chicago and vicinity. In 1940 a
Male Chorus traveled in the east
for three weeks. This trip included
Boston, Mass., and Brooklyn, N.Y.,
comprising a, 3,000 mile trip.
Because of war transportation
the trip was reduced this year.
Walter Julien is chorus presi-dent,
Prof. Nels Sjernstrom is the
director and Roger Youngquist and
Lloyd Nordstrom are the soloists
for the group.
Winners Will
Receive $25.00
Wednesday, May 12, is to be set
aside as Speech Day at Bethel. It
will be a day of varied speech ac-tivities
including original oratory,
interpretative reading, extemporan-eous
speaking, group discussion
and a division called speech mak-ing
in which the participant may
make a speech planned to secure
any one of the general ends of
speaking. He will give his outline
to the critic so that it may be deter-mined
whether or not he has achi-eved
his purpose.
Competent critics in each divi-sion
will be hired to judge the
speakers. Miss Platts urges all in
the Junior College and Seminary
who are interested to enter in as
many divisions as desired.
Each year there is a $25 scholar-ship
offered at Bethel by Dr. Mar-tin
Ericcson for students doing out-standing
work in speech activities.
The prize is divided into two prizes
of $15 and $10'to be awarded to the
two best all-round speakers. The
recipients of the prizes will be de-termined
by the critics, and the a-wards
will be based upon the
speaker's proficiency in the various
kinds of speaking.
If forty people enter the activi-ties
on speech day, there will be a
banquet held for them at the
Husch Brothers tearoom at which
time the prizes will be awarded
and the criticisms of the judges an-nounced.
"Watch your mailboxes for no-tices
of meetings for the different
divisions," says Miss Platts, who
is in charge of all the activities.
Street Meetings
Are Being Held

street meetings are held weekly at
the corner of University and Snel-ling
and a loudspeaker is used.
A movement is being planned to

Before You Vote.
"Elections, oh why bring them up! What bothersome things they
are!" I can hear you say as you read the headline- of this editorial. We
have a tendency to regard them merely as "necessary evils" and forget
their great importance.
Next week Bethel is to elect officers for the Student council, Miss-ionary
Band, Clarion, Spire, and its other organizations. These groups
have behind them a very successful year. How do we know this?—from
the fruits of their work— The Service Men's Banquet, Homecoming,
Founder's Week, Missionary Week, and many, many other meetings,
from which we all received great blessing and enjoyment. Why has this
year been successful? —because of the intelligent, capable leadership
with, of course, the cooperative support of the other members.
In the coming year, Bethel must continue to have capable leadership,
and whether we do or not depends upon the ballots you cast in the
elections.
Remember — vote for the man who can do the job, not the man with
the most winning smile and personality. Of course the latter character-istics
are important, but be sure there is a sense of responsibility, a re-sourcefulness,
originality, and a willingness to work behind the smile
and personality.
Think twice before you vote!
B. W. 4. oilifta,1?
"No! I don't want a formal!"
"Never!"
"Oh, no—oo—"
Thus the comments on a B.W.A. formal tea, as the remarks, so went
the vote — no formal.
Which makes us wonder if the Bethel women are still back in high
school days where the only time they took the moth balls out of the for-mals
was for the J. S?
If so, it might be well to be told what to do instead of asked.

Our
Lift
MEDITATION,,,
Cecil Lindblom
During the past weeks we were
reminded of the greatest sacrifice
that has ever been made, the sacri-fice
that made it possible for us to
come into direct fellowship with
God. Christ not only gave up His
home in the splendors of the eter-nal
realms for our sins but He
shed precious blood for the remis-sion
of our sins.
We are prone to commemorate
this unmatched "giving of self" for
a lost and dying world only a week
or probably two or three out of the
year. As we think of it this year,
may it be a challenge to us to do
as Paul suggests in Rom. 12:1 "I
beseech you, therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God, that ye pre-sent
your bodies as a living sacri-fice,
holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service."
The challenge involves sacrificing,
sacrificing as defined in these
words, "Giving up everything to
God." In other words, our hearts,
wills and thoughts should be con-scious
at all times of His presence
and all the actions of. the .inner
man in dependence on and in obe-dience
to Him.
May we note some of the quali-ties
of this sacrifice. It is to be a
living sacrifice, a presentation of
our lives to be used, as God from
His place in the heavens moves
and works in and through us, to be
living reflections of the Christ who
dwells within, and holy sacrifice,
cleansed from all impurities and
untarnished by worldly interests.
To be acceptable, this yielded life
and unblemished sacrifice must be
given in a spirit of humbleness.
A summary characterization of
this sacrifice is that it is our reas-onable
service. As we think upon
the willingness of our Christ to go
all the way, is it too mucji to ex-pect
that we give Him our best?

"Do you think the Date Bureau is
necessary? Yes-No
Margaret Swanson, "Yes, it's defi-nitely
necessary since there are
far more girls in the college than
fellows."
Lawrence Wagstrom, "Yes, I do,
I keep forgetting what date it is."
June Hedman, "Yes, Some boys
are awfully bashful and so are
some of us stagnant nomads."
Harris Youngquist, "Yes, it will
prevent the situation of having
some girls being asked two or
three times while others will not
be asked at all."
Bob Bergerud, "Yes, it is a nec-essary
evil! If all the fellows would
cooperate it wouldn't be neces-sary."
Gladyce Trumer, "Yes, but it
should not have to be in a school
as small as this."
Wilbur Ericson, "No, if a fellow
hasn't enough nerve and romance
in him to get his own girl, he
might as well be an old-maid
male."

Dear Bethelites,
Thank you one and all for your
many thoughtful remembrances
during my hospital "vacation". The
lovely Azalea plant from the fac-ulty
is growing more beautiful each
day, and the Tweed Cologne and
Talc from the student body is sure-ly
a welcome luxury. I am having
the "time of my life" now that I
can be up in a, wheel chair each
day. I travel around the whole hos-pital
visiting patients and nurses
whom I have known before or
whom I have had the privilege of
meeting since I came here.
Your cards (not to forget all the
21 cards received one afternoon
from the B.W.A. girls), visits, and
other remembrances have made the
time go very fast. Your prayers al-so
have surely helped. Truly "all
things work together for the good
of them that love God."
I am thinking of all of you. May
we all experience anew an outpour-ing
of His blessing that in what-ever
dark days lie ahead we may
be conscious of His presence in an
abundant measure. Remember that
'in all these things we are more
than conquerors'.
Sincerely,
Edith Larson

Didn't the fellows look swell in
their black suits? My, when I saw
them I thought they looked so
-handsome. They should dress up
more often. You have guessed by
this time whom I mean, haven't
you? Of course it's the Male
Chorus. When they sing they
could "set the world on fire." And
I mean really. We surely miss
them when they're not around.

The "chief pranksters" have fi-nally
been repaid for all their es-capades.
Their room was turned
upside down and hung out the
window. They are hoping the boys
weren't looking up that day. DO-LORES

Warren Magnuson was taken in
the other night while hitch hiking,
but not by the police. Coming from
Minneapolis at 2:30 a.m. (he's en-gaged)
on the Como street car, he
decided it was too far to walk
from Como to school. As he step-ped
from the car he saw a car
coming and put out his thumb. The
car stopped and one of the two
men slumped over in the front
seat ordered him into the back
seat in a gruff voice. All the street
lights were out and it was imposs-ible
for "Mag" to see, who his ben-efactors
were. .It didn't take long
though, before he realized that
they were two crazy morons. The
car weaved and swerved all over
the street and Warren was plenty
happy that he had only a few
blocks to go. After thanking them
profusely for the ride, Mag was
surprised to see them turn the cor-ner
and park in the Seminary park-ing
lot. The two lunatics? Val
Hauk and Dallas West!
That pile of trousers you saw on
the ground below Ralph Johnson's
window meant that it was spring
housecleaning time. The initiative
was taken by other dormitories
who saw the need. The only draw
back was that they threw out one
pair too many and Ralph had no-thing
to get down in to get them
back.
The gym is getting a little use
now in the evenings as the fellows
start playing volley ball.

Cecil Lindblom is the hard
luck man this year as he has
already broken his arm which
puts him out for the rest of the
season. He was after a long fly
out in deep left and as he tried
to hurdle the hedge, he fell on
the sidewalk on the other side
and broke his arm. Here's our
deepest sympathies.
C. E. CARLSON is going to get
tired of seeing his name in every

why his hair is always so
wavy on Mondays. Does he put it

"Learning to force ourselves to

Which
are
YOU ?
1. A SPRAWLER
2. FIDGETER or
3. HEAD SUPPORTER?
Are you a "sprawler", "fidgeter",
or "head supporter"? In other
words what is your pet perch or
just exactly what is your favorite
position as you sit in a chair?
To begin with, most sitters
can be classed in one of the above
three groups. The most widely
known of all the sitters is
the sprawler. He is the lad
who insists on stretching the
lower extremities of his torso far
out into the aisle, exposing an eq-ual
amount of bare leg and bright
garterless hose. Correct posure
seems the farthest thing from his
mind as he leisurely sits with his
head on the back of the chair with
feet draped in the way of anyone
wishing to pass. Three excellent
examples of the sprawler are Karl
Rosenquist, Johnny Danielson, and
Ruth Nelson.
The "fidget" is the person who
constantly strives for a comfort-able
position throughout the class
period and is sure -to find it by the
time class is dismissed. The next
period finds him once again in the
process of squirming. "Knop" Er-icson
and Lola Grace lead this list.
Without a doubt the best "head
supporters" at Bethel are Lester
Pipkin, Dave Danielson and Wally
Henk. This type of individual
seems to possess a head which op-erates
on a pivot and can only be
held up by the aid of one or both
hands.
Guess Who ?
He always manages to give the
impression of being STUDIOUS,
even in the coffee shop where he
usually sits with an open chemistry
text.
Re likes the band, football, phot-ography.
His favorite sports are
camping and skiing. In high school
he was a STAR SCOUT.
He plans to be a forester and
hopes to go to the University of
Minnesota.
In reply to "What would you like
to do in the army?" he laughed,
"Oh, I'd want to be in the GOOD
OLD INFANTRY, or ski troops or
a gunner on a bomber!" -
He lives in Worcester, Massachu-setts..
He can be recognized by his
shy smile and reserved air and the
pencil stuck behind his ear. ,

Bethel Meets Defeat Knop Says . • •
With three veterans and the re-maining
newcomers, the Bethel
baseball team began their season
with a defeat at the hands of the
Concordia team. Wilbur Ericson
started the game for the Indians
giving up two hits in three innings.
Wes Lindblom relieved him in the
fourth and went the rest of the
route giving up one hit in four in-nings.
The first year men showed a
spark in their chatter and their
play although the fielding was er-ratic
throughout the whole squad.
Nine errors spelled the difference
between a possible victory and the
defeat that they took. Inexperience
was the cause for most of the er-rors
and will be ironed out as the
team gets to work and plays to-gether
as the year progresses.
Sibelius Sahlin showed t h e
punch at the bat that he has shown
all through his play as he poled
out a long homer with one "duck
on the rock" in the fifth. West
led off the inning by dropping a
safe hit in short left; C. Lind-blom
flied out to left center: H.
Youngquist fanned and then Sah-lin
connected for the circuit clout
driving in West ahead of him.
This first game was more or less
of a get-acquainted game for Coach
and the fellows. He got a chance
to look over the fellows and lay
plans for the rest of the year. No
doubt some of the mistakes will be
remedied and they will all learn
to play with each other.
Wessman got the other hit that
Bethel had in the fifth when he
knocked out a two-bagger just af-ter
Sahlin had run the route. Wil-lie
and Sibelius looked good in the
infield as did Johnny D. who hand-led
five chances with only one
error. This year is the first that
Bernie has been on the initial sack
and is doing very well in spite of
the fact that his experience is so
limited.
The battery worked well altho
a strong and cold wind seemed to
affect the control. We look for-ward
to the fellows' bringing home
the majority of their games in the
win column this year.

This fellow Sahliu is a wolf al-right,
but he's more than a wolf.
He's a greyhound. He's faster than
a wolf.
Speaking about wolves, our dear
brother Rendahl made a confession
the other night as he looked upon
his Alma Mater for the last time.
He said, "I've been a wolf while
at home and at school, so I've de-cided
to join the Navy and become
a Wolf in Ship's clothing.

May 5, 1943
Speech Day to Be May 12th
"What are you doing, Christian
young men and women, for the
boys and girls of this country who
are juvenile delinquents?"
This was the challenge presented
by Dr. Devine, as he spoke in the
Chapel, Friday.
Citing Marijuana as public en-emy
number one, giving example
after example of boys and girls
who use the weed, telling of the in-crease
in crime among teen-ages,
he drew a picture of the war at
home, which is being lost.
The Church has the only power
that can draw these children away
from the devil and keep them from
crime. The Church can take the
children off the streets, keep them
from marijuana and delinquency,
court and reform school. Churches
can, by daily vacation Bible schools
and by child evangelism classes,
Sunday School classes, and week-day
church school, give the young
people the Gospel which is the most
important factor in making them
upright citizens.
"If you can get youngsters under
the Word of God, if for only a
week, it means a lot."
"It is a pathetic thing," said Dr.
Devine, "to find men who aren't
Christians working with zeal and
enthusiasm to help the boys and
girls —and then to find the Church
people who have the only real rem-edy—
Jesus Christ, who will change
the heart — find them — asleep in
the pews."
"We know what we can do. Are
we doing it — or is the problem
one of Christian delinquency rather
than juvenile?"
Spire Progresses
Dana Larson reports that 16 cuts
are back from the printer and the
first 18 pages of the Spire have
been sent to the printer.
Demonstration
A liquid air demonstration was
given by Elliot James, a former
high school teacher, under the aus-pices
of the University of Minne-sota,
General Extension Division,
at the convocation May 4.
Mr. James has given his demon-stration
in forty-six states and five
Canadian provinces. His demon-stration
consisted of experiments
with liquid air. It made a most in-teresting
and educational enter-tainment.
War Will Be
Theme of Sem
Banquet
Plans are underway for this year's
Seminary banquet to be held Tues-day,
May 10, at the Hotel Commo-dore
in St. Paul at 6:30 p.m. A
war theme will predominate.
The program is being arranged
by Don Johnson, Wesley Lindblom
and Stanley Paulson. Decorations
are in charge of Dick Slater, assist-ed
by Miriam Johanson and Marie
Green. The committee of arrange-ments
is Gunnar Hoglund and Dale
Bjork.
Zoo Class Di-sects
Dog-fish
The stndents in zoology class
have been dissecting Dog Fish
sharks.
Upon examining the external
parts they found the gills and fins
(but they couldn't find the Danes).
The students were of the opinion
that the rough external surface re-sembled
the epidermis of the hu-man
body during a severe case of
seven year itch.
Later an autopsy was performed
after the sharks had breathed their
last as a result of years and years
in formaldehyde.

JUNIOR - SENIOR BANQUET
MAY 21
The colloge chapel will pro-vide
the setting for the annual
formal Junior-Senior Banquet to
be held on May 21.
"It is to be strictly a date occa-sion,"
announced Peggy Apple-quist,
who heads the committee
in charge of the date bureau. So
get busy fellows and don't wait
until the last minute to ask that
girl whom you have wanted to
step out with all year.
The girl who sits next to you
in the Swedish or German class,
the one you have talked with so
much in the coffee shop, or the
one who studies that chemistry
with you are all prospects.
For the benefit of those who
just cannot make up their minds
as to whom to take, Johnny
Danielson and Peggy Applequist
who have charge of the date
bureau, will fix you up in grand
style.
We urge Freshmen and Soph-omores
who have not paid their
class dues to do so immediately
as the banquet tickets are in-cluded
in the class dues. Also,
the attendance of any non-col-lege
students must be told to
the committee as soon as poss-ible
so that reservations can be
arranged.
Today the Bethel Male Chorus is
representing Bethel at Lake View
Church in Chicago. They have sung
for six services and will sing for
five more before returning to Be-thel,
May 10.
This year the trip is limited to
Chicago and vicinity. In 1940 a
Male Chorus traveled in the east
for three weeks. This trip included
Boston, Mass., and Brooklyn, N.Y.,
comprising a, 3,000 mile trip.
Because of war transportation
the trip was reduced this year.
Walter Julien is chorus presi-dent,
Prof. Nels Sjernstrom is the
director and Roger Youngquist and
Lloyd Nordstrom are the soloists
for the group.
Winners Will
Receive $25.00
Wednesday, May 12, is to be set
aside as Speech Day at Bethel. It
will be a day of varied speech ac-tivities
including original oratory,
interpretative reading, extemporan-eous
speaking, group discussion
and a division called speech mak-ing
in which the participant may
make a speech planned to secure
any one of the general ends of
speaking. He will give his outline
to the critic so that it may be deter-mined
whether or not he has achi-eved
his purpose.
Competent critics in each divi-sion
will be hired to judge the
speakers. Miss Platts urges all in
the Junior College and Seminary
who are interested to enter in as
many divisions as desired.
Each year there is a $25 scholar-ship
offered at Bethel by Dr. Mar-tin
Ericcson for students doing out-standing
work in speech activities.
The prize is divided into two prizes
of $15 and $10'to be awarded to the
two best all-round speakers. The
recipients of the prizes will be de-termined
by the critics, and the a-wards
will be based upon the
speaker's proficiency in the various
kinds of speaking.
If forty people enter the activi-ties
on speech day, there will be a
banquet held for them at the
Husch Brothers tearoom at which
time the prizes will be awarded
and the criticisms of the judges an-nounced.
"Watch your mailboxes for no-tices
of meetings for the different
divisions," says Miss Platts, who
is in charge of all the activities.
Street Meetings
Are Being Held

street meetings are held weekly at
the corner of University and Snel-ling

Before You Vote.
"Elections, oh why bring them up! What bothersome things they
are!" I can hear you say as you read the headline- of this editorial. We
have a tendency to regard them merely as "necessary evils" and forget
their great importance.
Next week Bethel is to elect officers for the Student council, Miss-ionary
Band, Clarion, Spire, and its other organizations. These groups
have behind them a very successful year. How do we know this?—from
the fruits of their work— The Service Men's Banquet, Homecoming,
Founder's Week, Missionary Week, and many, many other meetings,
from which we all received great blessing and enjoyment. Why has this
year been successful? —because of the intelligent, capable leadership
with, of course, the cooperative support of the other members.
In the coming year, Bethel must continue to have capable leadership,
and whether we do or not depends upon the ballots you cast in the
elections.
Remember — vote for the man who can do the job, not the man with
the most winning smile and personality. Of course the latter character-istics
are important, but be sure there is a sense of responsibility, a re-sourcefulness,
originality, and a willingness to work behind the smile
and personality.
Think twice before you vote!
B. W. 4. oilifta,1?
"No! I don't want a formal!"
"Never!"
"Oh, no—oo—"
Thus the comments on a B.W.A. formal tea, as the remarks, so went
the vote — no formal.
Which makes us wonder if the Bethel women are still back in high
school days where the only time they took the moth balls out of the for-mals
was for the J. S?
If so, it might be well to be told what to do instead of asked.

MEDITATION,,,
Cecil Lindblom
During the past weeks we were
reminded of the greatest sacrifice
that has ever been made, the sacri-fice
that made it possible for us to
come into direct fellowship with
God. Christ not only gave up His
home in the splendors of the eter-nal
realms for our sins but He
shed precious blood for the remis-sion
of our sins.
We are prone to commemorate
this unmatched "giving of self" for
a lost and dying world only a week
or probably two or three out of the
year. As we think of it this year,
may it be a challenge to us to do
as Paul suggests in Rom. 12:1 "I
beseech you, therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God, that ye pre-sent
your bodies as a living sacri-fice,
holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service."
The challenge involves sacrificing,
sacrificing as defined in these
words, "Giving up everything to
God." In other words, our hearts,
wills and thoughts should be con-scious
at all times of His presence
and all the actions of. the .inner
man in dependence on and in obe-dience
to Him.
May we note some of the quali-ties
of this sacrifice. It is to be a
living sacrifice, a presentation of
our lives to be used, as God from
His place in the heavens moves
and works in and through us, to be
living reflections of the Christ who
dwells within, and holy sacrifice,
cleansed from all impurities and
untarnished by worldly interests.
To be acceptable, this yielded life
and unblemished sacrifice must be
given in a spirit of humbleness.
A summary characterization of
this sacrifice is that it is our reas-onable
service. As we think upon
the willingness of our Christ to go
all the way, is it too mucji to ex-pect
that we give Him our best?

Dear Bethelites,
Thank you one and all for your
many thoughtful remembrances
during my hospital "vacation". The
lovely Azalea plant from the fac-ulty
is growing more beautiful each
day, and the Tweed Cologne and
Talc from the student body is sure-ly
a welcome luxury. I am having
the "time of my life" now that I
can be up in a, wheel chair each
day. I travel around the whole hos-pital
visiting patients and nurses
whom I have known before or
whom I have had the privilege of
meeting since I came here.
Your cards (not to forget all the
21 cards received one afternoon
from the B.W.A. girls), visits, and
other remembrances have made the
time go very fast. Your prayers al-so
have surely helped. Truly "all
things work together for the good
of them that love God."
I am thinking of all of you. May
we all experience anew an outpour-ing
of His blessing that in what-ever
dark days lie ahead we may
be conscious of His presence in an
abundant measure. Remember that
'in all these things we are more
than conquerors'.
Sincerely,
Edith Larson

Didn't the fellows look swell in

them I thought they looked so

The "chief pranksters" have fi-nally
been repaid for all their es-capades.
Their room was turned
upside down and hung out the
window. They are hoping the boys
weren't looking up that day. DO-LORES

Warren Magnuson was taken in
the other night while hitch hiking,
but not by the police. Coming from
Minneapolis at 2:30 a.m. (he's en-gaged)
on the Como street car, he
decided it was too far to walk
from Como to school. As he step-ped
from the car he saw a car
coming and put out his thumb. The
car stopped and one of the two
men slumped over in the front
seat ordered him into the back
seat in a gruff voice. All the street
lights were out and it was imposs-ible
for "Mag" to see, who his ben-efactors
were. .It didn't take long
though, before he realized that
they were two crazy morons. The
car weaved and swerved all over
the street and Warren was plenty
happy that he had only a few
blocks to go. After thanking them
profusely for the ride, Mag was
surprised to see them turn the cor-ner
and park in the Seminary park-ing
lot. The two lunatics? Val
Hauk and Dallas West!
That pile of trousers you saw on
the ground below Ralph Johnson's
window meant that it was spring
housecleaning time. The initiative
was taken by other dormitories
who saw the need. The only draw
back was that they threw out one
pair too many and Ralph had no-thing
to get down in to get them
back.
The gym is getting a little use
now in the evenings as the fellows
start playing volley ball.

Cecil Lindblom is the hard
luck man this year as he has
already broken his arm which
puts him out for the rest of the

out in deep left and as he tried
to hurdle the hedge, he fell on
the sidewalk on the other side
and broke his arm. Here's our
deepest sympathies.

Which
are
YOU ?
1. A SPRAWLER
2. FIDGETER or
3. HEAD SUPPORTER?
Are you a "sprawler", "fidgeter",
or "head supporter"? In other
words what is your pet perch or
just exactly what is your favorite
position as you sit in a chair?
To begin with, most sitters
can be classed in one of the above
three groups. The most widely
known of all the sitters is
the sprawler. He is the lad
who insists on stretching the
lower extremities of his torso far
out into the aisle, exposing an eq-ual
amount of bare leg and bright
garterless hose. Correct posure
seems the farthest thing from his
mind as he leisurely sits with his
head on the back of the chair with
feet draped in the way of anyone
wishing to pass. Three excellent
examples of the sprawler are Karl
Rosenquist, Johnny Danielson, and
Ruth Nelson.
The "fidget" is the person who
constantly strives for a comfort-able
position throughout the class
period and is sure -to find it by the
time class is dismissed. The next
period finds him once again in the
process of squirming. "Knop" Er-icson
and Lola Grace lead this list.
Without a doubt the best "head
supporters" at Bethel are Lester
Pipkin, Dave Danielson and Wally
Henk. This type of individual
seems to possess a head which op-erates
on a pivot and can only be
held up by the aid of one or both
hands.
Guess Who ?
He always manages to give the
impression of being STUDIOUS,
even in the coffee shop where he
usually sits with an open chemistry
text.
Re likes the band, football, phot-ography.
His favorite sports are
camping and skiing. In high school
he was a STAR SCOUT.
He plans to be a forester and
hopes to go to the University of
Minnesota.
In reply to "What would you like
to do in the army?" he laughed,
"Oh, I'd want to be in the GOOD
OLD INFANTRY, or ski troops or
a gunner on a bomber!" -
He lives in Worcester, Massachu-setts..
He can be recognized by his
shy smile and reserved air and the
pencil stuck behind his ear. ,

Bethel Meets Defeat Knop Says . • •
With three veterans and the re-maining
newcomers, the Bethel
baseball team began their season
with a defeat at the hands of the
Concordia team. Wilbur Ericson
started the game for the Indians
giving up two hits in three innings.
Wes Lindblom relieved him in the
fourth and went the rest of the
route giving up one hit in four in-nings.
The first year men showed a
spark in their chatter and their
play although the fielding was er-ratic
throughout the whole squad.
Nine errors spelled the difference
between a possible victory and the
defeat that they took. Inexperience
was the cause for most of the er-rors
and will be ironed out as the
team gets to work and plays to-gether
as the year progresses.
Sibelius Sahlin showed t h e
punch at the bat that he has shown
all through his play as he poled
out a long homer with one "duck
on the rock" in the fifth. West
led off the inning by dropping a
safe hit in short left; C. Lind-blom
flied out to left center: H.
Youngquist fanned and then Sah-lin
connected for the circuit clout
driving in West ahead of him.
This first game was more or less
of a get-acquainted game for Coach
and the fellows. He got a chance
to look over the fellows and lay
plans for the rest of the year. No
doubt some of the mistakes will be
remedied and they will all learn
to play with each other.
Wessman got the other hit that
Bethel had in the fifth when he
knocked out a two-bagger just af-ter
Sahlin had run the route. Wil-lie
and Sibelius looked good in the
infield as did Johnny D. who hand-led
five chances with only one
error. This year is the first that
Bernie has been on the initial sack
and is doing very well in spite of
the fact that his experience is so
limited.
The battery worked well altho
a strong and cold wind seemed to
affect the control. We look for-ward
to the fellows' bringing home
the majority of their games in the
win column this year.

This fellow Sahliu is a wolf al-right,
but he's more than a wolf.
He's a greyhound. He's faster than
a wolf.
Speaking about wolves, our dear
brother Rendahl made a confession
the other night as he looked upon
his Alma Mater for the last time.
He said, "I've been a wolf while
at home and at school, so I've de-cided
to join the Navy and become
a Wolf in Ship's clothing.
Overheard in the Swedish Class.
C. Christenson: Knacka, knacka!
Studious Student: Vem är det?
C. C.: Dum!
S. S.: Dum who?
C. C.: Dum Huvud.
Parting advice: Use Vitalis and
a little water for best results!
